The Africa Digital Finance Summit 2024

The Glass House PR will be hosting this years’ Africa Digital Finance Summit that will be held in Johannesburg, South Africa. The Summit brings together members of Government, representatives of central banks, executives in the fintech space and other influential decision-makers, to share their thoughts on the future of finance.

It is the third iteration of the Africa Digital Finance Summit. For the first time, this usually Kenya-based event will be held in South Africa. The decision to host the summit in South Africa is representative of this event’s continental significance and the impetus that the conference places on collaboration across Africa.

The inaugural African Digital Finance Summit attracts members of Government, representatives of central banks, executives in the fintech space and other influential decision-makers, to share their thoughts on the future of finance.

The hope, according to the event’s organizer, Mary Njoki, CEO of Glass House PR, is that the African Digital Finance Summit will help the continent harness its massive growth potential while also allowing it to pre-empt and prevent some of the potential pitfalls inherent in development

This year, attendees will enjoy the privilege of listening to and learning from 100 keynote speakers. These thought leaders will be subject-specific speakers with backgrounds in different and various areas of professionalism surrounding finance and its digitization. The conversations that they will take the lead on will touch on subject matter such as digital transformation, Artificial Intelligence, climate change, cybersecurity, financial inclusion and much more.

As a result, the conversation that the summit facilitates promises to be diversely influenced, and a comprehensive study of all things digital finance. These may well prove to be the conversations that pave the way towards a future of fluid and fair financing for Africans.

Following the 18^th of February conclusion of the 37^th Ordinary Session of the African Union, in which presidents Ruto and Ramaphosa met to discuss free trade and diplomacy, the Kenyan president made reference to his country’s “deepening collaboration” with South Africa.
